The same way people look at a Segway and see a scooter. Or the same way people look at a longship and cruise liner and both times think "boat". While the individual technologies are not the same, they have similar functions and do have common themes. Both this and the segway achieved motorized transportation based on balancing on fewer than four-wheels (standard for most motorized vehicles). One has one-wheel (as the thread title suggests), one has two.
